Special Issue Call for Papers: Entrepreneurship & Regional Development
Entrepreneurship and Crises: Business as Usual?
The aim of this Special Issue is to examine more closely the
relationship between entrepreneurial activity and crises. Crises tend to
have severe consequences for businesses, generating ambiguity and
decision-making time pressures (Weick, 1988; Pearson and Clair, 1998).
Crises of relevance to entrepreneurial activity range from the personal
to the social or natural, and broadly include “disasters, business
interruptions, catastrophes, emergency or contingency” (Herbane, 2010:
46), the impacts of which range from the individual to society in scope.
It is argued that crises are becoming an integral part of business
activity (Smallbone, North and Kalantaridis, 1999), and responses to a
crisis can mean the difference between business survival and failure
(Doern, 2014). As a key journal in the field, Entrepreneurship &
Regional Development has been a leader on academic publications that
investigate how context shapes entrepreneurial behaviour, and has
published some contributions of relevance to this Special Issue (e.g.,
Williams and Vorley, 2014; Suire and Vincente, 2014). Our Special Issue
would build on this previous work by bringing together
multi-disciplinary approaches and examinations of entrepreneurship,
crises and resilience, across different levels of analysis.
